Description
Genetic Potential: Why "Korol" (King) is the Professional's Choice
The "Korol" sweet corn hybrid from KWS is a breeding solution tailored for those prioritizing flavor profiles and commercial market appeal. German breeding expertise here focuses on delivering a product perfectly aligned with the needs of the food processing industry and the culinary sector.
Grain Technical Specs and Growth Cycle
The defining feature of "Korol" is its wrinkled grain type. Physiologically, this is a clear indicator of high sugar content within the endosperm, which forms the characteristic "wrinkled" structure upon drying. Unlike standard fodder varieties, this hybrid is genetically programmed to delay the conversion of sugars into starch, which is crucial for maintaining the tenderness of the product during the canning process.
- FAO: 90–1240. This wide range indicates the hybrid's adaptability to various climatic zones, allowing for flexible planting schedules based on regional specifics.
- Ripening: A vegetation period of 90–100 days ensures a consistent harvest within a single season, minimizing risks associated with late-season precipitation.
- Color Palette: The white grain visually distinguishes the product on the shelf, making it a premium choice for salads and gourmet canned goods.
Practical Application: From Field to Processing
The technological value of this hybrid lies in its ability to retain organoleptic properties after thermal processing. The wrinkled grain coat structure has an optimal thickness: it is durable enough to withstand sterilization without degradation, yet tender enough to provide a "melting" mouthfeel. For agronomists, this translates to predictable harvest management, as the "Korol" hybrid features a distinct and well-defined window for harvesting at the milk-wax maturity stage.
The high sugar content makes this hybrid a standout for home culinary use as well. The high plant density per hectare and uniform cob sizing allow for effective mechanized harvesting without significant compromises in raw material quality.
